Select a color band on the setpoint graph to see the current setpoints in the 
and 
fields. See setpoint 
descriptions below. 
 
 
 
The occupied setpoints described below are the setpoints under normal operating conditions. The Demand Level 1–3 
setpoints apply if demand limiting is used.  
 
Demand limiting is a cost-saving strategy to reduce energy consumption. The strategy expands the occupied heating and 
cooling setpoints when the system reaches one of 3 levels of consumption. With the expanded setpoints, the equipment 
works less, thereby saving energy. By default, Demand Level 1 expands the occupied heating and cooling setpoints by 1°F, 
Demand Level 2 by 2°F, and Demand Level 3 by 4°F. If the occupied heating or cooling setpoints change, the (effective) 
demand level setpoints automatically change by the same amount. See Sequence of Operation 42 (page  ) for more 
information.

70°F  – Green 
The heating setpoint the controller maintains while in occupied mode. 
69°F  68°F  66°F 
74°F  – Green 
The cooling setpoint the controller maintains while in occupied mode. 
75°F  76°F  78°F 
 – Light Blue 
The space temperature must be less than the 
 setpoint for the 
VVT Master to consider the zone a heating caller in a linked system. In a single-
zone application, the heating requirement begins as soon as the space 
temperature falls below the 
 setpoint. We recommend that the 
 value be set no less than 0.5°F below the 
69°F 
 
setpoint. 
68°F  67°F  65°F 
 – Dark Blue 
The space temperature must be less than the 
 setpoint to 
generate a low space temperature alarm. We recommend that this value be set no 
less than 0.5°F below the 
68°F 
 setpoint. 
67°F  66°F  64°F
